The ground floor offers three comfortable, flexible reception rooms in which to relax and entertain, as well as a useful Study/bedroom 5 facing the front aspect. The living room and the sitting/dining room both feature varnished floorboards, with the sitting room including built-in shelving and a skylight overhead, while the family and dining room has a cast-iron fireplace with marble surround, built-in storage and French doors opening onto the garden. The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and dining area, with its conservatory flooding the space with natural light and connecting with the outside space. The kitchen itself has a range bespoke shaker-style cabinets, a central island with granite surfaces and a stainless steel range cooker.

Upstairs there are four well-presented bedrooms, three of which have built-in wardrobes. Additionally, the first floor has the family bathroom with its roll-top bathtub and a shower room.

Outside

The home is accessed via Arcadian Court and features a block-paved driveway at the front with parking space for two/three vehicles and a alleyway for storing bicycles. At the rear, the walled garden includes a patio area for al fresco dining beneath which there was once a swimming pool, a manageable area of lawn and various border shrubs, hedgerows and trees, creating a sense of peace and privacy. There is also a timber-framed storage shed and a summer house for further storage, or outside relaxation space.
